England’s most evocative Regency town, Cheltenham lies on the edge of the Cotswolds and boasts wide, tree-lined avenues overlooked by elegant terraced buildings complete with ornate balconies and verandhas.
Genteel, prosperous and classical, it hosts annual arts and literature festivals that have become famous across the globe while the Cheltenham Gold Cup is the leading event of the National Hunt horse-racing season.

The town’s success stems from alkaline mineral springs discovered in the early 18th century. In the 1780s a pump room was opened and within a few years Cheltenham had become one of Britain’s most fashionable destinations.

George III was a regular visitor. But it was the Duke of Wellington who really put the town on the map when he arrived in 1816 seeking a cure for a liver complaint. One of the biggest attractions is the Pittville Pump Room, built in the 1820s for the MP Joseph Pitt. Set in a magnificent park, it has beautiful lawns and tree-lined lakes.Curiously, Cheltenham’s parish church, St Mary’s, has reminders of its 11th century origin, though it is best known for its 14th century rose window.

The town has two public schools – Cheltenham College, which was originally built to educate the sons of Indian army officers, and the Victorian Cheltenham Ladies College.

Ballinger's Farmhouse Cottages consist of The Granary and The Stables these are two delightful single storey cottages situated opposite the Ballinger's Farmhouse (an early 17th century Grade II listed building). On arriving at Ballinger's Farmhouse, Ian and Judi Pollard have a friendly Labrador to greet you and enough chickens to ensure you can buy fresh eggs for breakfast. Camera crews occasionally visit the village to film costume dramas at The Mill Inn and the Church. The village church was originally built in 1150 and restored and enlarged later. The fine Norman doorway remains and the exterior features of St. Michael still remain. The village has two wonderful public houses, The Kings Head and The Mill Inn where good food and ale are served. Dogs welcome by prior arrangement.
